Democratic Party, formation of the electoral coalition promotional team… Jeong Seong-ho “The verification of candidates within the party system”
The New Progressive Alliance proposes “the alternation of democratic and minority parties and the unification of constituencies”
Representative Lee Jae-myeong speaks

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Seol Seung-eun = As the Democratic Party of Korea begins discussions on a pan-opposition “large-district proportional electoral coalition”, the battle between the Democratic Party and smaller parties over the formation of a proportional system integrated satellite party is intensifying.
On the 7th, the Democratic Party formed the “Democratic Reform and Progressive Election Coalition Promotion Team” and seriously began to create an integrated proportional party.
Rep. Lee Jae-myung appointed three-term MP Park Hong-geun from civil society as head of the promotion group, Rep. Kim Young-jin, head of the party’s Political Affairs Coordination Office, as vice chair, and Rep. MP Cho Seung-rae, Kim Seong-hwan, Han Byeong-do, Jin Seong-jun, Park Joo-min and Min Byeong-deok as members.
The Democratic Party is clarifying its policy of taking the lead in the pan-opposition solidarity process.
Representative Lee stated this day at the Supreme Council meeting: “In order to preserve the purpose of the semi-membership system, I will find a way to share at least some of the proportional seats with minority parties or with civil society.”
On the 5th, he announced his plan to promote a unified proportional political party, saying: “Since the Democratic Party is the big brother with the largest share of the progressive reformist pan-opposition camp and the democratic camp, it has no choice but to take on a great responsibility, and must naturally have authority commensurate with that great responsibility.” It was underlined.
Proposal for the leadership of the proportional coalition party
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jong-chan Han = New Progressive Alliance Standing Election Committee Chairman Yong Hye-in holds a press conference at the communications room of the National Assembly on the morning of the 7th, and proposes the direction to promote a proportional coalition party. 2024.2.7 saba@yna.co.kr
The position of the Democratic Party is that the verification of candidates for integrated proportional parties should also be carried out through the “Democratic Party system”.
Rep. Seong-ho Jeong, chairman of the pro-Myung (pro-Lee Jae-myung) faction, told MBC radio that day: “If a proportional coalition party is created, in the end, the due diligence of the recommended people will have no choice but to be verified within the Democratic Party system.”
The New Progressive Alliance, a coalition party for the general elections in which three smaller parties including the Basic Income Party participated, proposed alternating the proportional rotation of the Democratic Party and smaller parties and unifying constituencies.
Yong Hye-in, chairman of the Standing Election Committee, said at a press conference that day at the Communications Center of the National Assembly: “We alternately allocate seats to the Democratic Party and minority parties.”
In the last general election, Yong, chairman of the Standing Election Committee, entered the National Assembly as proportional number 5 of the Citizens Party, a satellite party of the Democratic Party, and then rejoined the Basic Income Party in the form of an expulsion. . At the time, the Democratic Party assigned the numbers 1 through 10 proportionally to the non-Democratic Party and the numbers 11 and up to its own party.
The position is that the selection and verification of candidates should also take place through citizen participation.
Chairman Yong of the Standing Election Committee said, “If each political party can reach an agreement, the people will be able to directly deliberate on the order of candidates and thoroughly explore ways to reflect the results.” He added: “Even the Democratic Party candidates are a minority.” He also said: “We allow the public to directly verify the candidates of political parties.”
He stressed: “It is fair to reflect the size of seats for each party to the extent that the public supports each party”, and suggested: “Let us push for the unification of constituencies at a rapid pace immediately after the reform tasks and principles appointments will be decided until the beginning of March.” .
In the case of the Green Justice Party and the Progressive Party, they are maintaining a reserved position for now, saying they can discuss it if the Democratic Party proposes it.
Since the Democratic Party pursues not only proportionality but also district solidarity, it is assumed that there is a possibility of participation after considering the candidates of these parties who are competitive in the district and the possibility of unification of the Democratic Party.
